Each June, the Wakefield Estate in Milton, Massachusetts welcomes visitors to celebrate the annual blooming of hundreds of Polly Wakefield’s kousa dogwood trees. This year’s Dogwood Days will kick-off with the fifth annual Dogwood Days Garden Party, and include a week-full of special events, including open hours, guided tours, a tree sale and more. Starting Sunday the 14th, the grounds will be open daily for self-guided walks around the formal gardens where hundreds of kousa dogwoods will be at their peak bloom. Dogwood Days closes with one of the estate’s most enjoyed event: Dogs and Dogwoods – but wait! This year, we’re adding DAD for a special Father’s Day version of “Dads, Dogs, and Dogwoods!” It should be a blast!
In conjunction with the Dogwood Days Celebration, there will be an annual plant sale. This is your opportunity to add some special woody plants and perennials to your own yard, including some of the estate’s signature kousa dogwoods, metasequoias, tulip trees, and mayapples.
